Good window. Take the emotion out of it- good window.
We've strengthened in areas we were poor. We've sold players that were surplus to requirements. We've given the manager a more streamlined, versatile squad to coach. He's said to be happy with what he has and, if his two targets in MS and Jrod weren't get-able he was content. So we should be.
Given we typically play 1 upfront we can get to Jan with the 3 cforwards we have, no issue. We're good.
Pochs main challenge is now a managerial one. That changing room has lost a lot of personality this morning. I can't see any natural leaders stepping up. He's got to find a nucleus of a new group of leaders and give them their head. By all accounts Benji is that type but apart from him I'm struggling with who can grip the team if we've got 2 down in 30
Mins, who gives Bentaleb a slap and an encourage if he's having a bad one, who gets the huddle together and gives them the speech. We've lost that personality a bit and Poch can be the best coach in the world but we need leadership on the pitch as well
